Fang Zhaomu pondered over it, but still replied him. “I did.”

“What wish did you make?”

Fang Zhaomu felt that he had been asked this question many times today. However, so what if he knew? Even if his wish had to do with Andrew, Andrew might not be able help him fulfil it.

So he told Andrew, “I made many wishes, but I don’t think they’ll come true.”

“Tell me about them.” Andrew was persistent.

Fang Zhaomu was slightly stunned by Andrew’s message, and slowly typed, “I hope that out of all the things I had an agreement with someone to do, I’ll be able to at least do one or two of them.”

It was not long before Andrew called him.

Fang Zhaomu picked it up.

“Are you talking about me?” Andrew was very direct.

Fang Zhaomu had only spoken to Andrew just before he had helped Song Yuanxun out, but he felt as though it had been ages since he spoke to Andrew.

Just by hearing his voice, Fang Zhaomu felt a lot of sorrow and reluctance that he could not say out.

It sounded like Andrew was outside. There was the sound of wind, the rustling of leaves, as well as vehicles driving by. Those might be the background noises that belonged to Seattle, and it made Fang Zhaomu want to go there.

He also wanted to be like the passersby walking past Andrew, able to see Andrew call him, and catch a glimpse of how Andrew actually felt about him.

“If that’s the case?” Fang Zhaomu asked Andrew in return.

“If it is,” Andrew said. “I will do them with you.”

“What will we do?” Fang Zhaomu asked depressedly.

“Didn’t you want to watch that movie released in March? We’ll also go to that biology exhibition in the city.” Andrew stated them one by one for Fang Zhaomu. “We’ll have to feed the fish when we got to the aquarium. We’ll go to the street market, a chinese restaurant, and you want to bring me for a stroll in T University in the evening, and we’ll do it again in the day.”

This was the first time Fang Zhaomu had heard him talk so much ever since they got to know each other.

Fang Zhaomu listened to him quietly. Because Andrew had remembered them all, his heartbeat started getting erratic, and his bad mood for the entire week vanished instantly.

He had never expected that Andrew, being so quiet, would actually remember everything they talked about. He did not know if it was because his memory was good, or if he was really paying attention.

Fang Zhaomu discovered that he really was someone who was easily pleased. Because of his sudden joy, he felt that this birthday was not too bad.

After Andrew listed every item, Fang Zhaomu asked him lightly, “So what do you think we should do first?”

“Let’s meet up first.”

Andrew’s answer was perfect, and Fang Zhaomu laughed. He told Andrew in anticipation, “Sure, we’ll meet up first.”

He then asked Andrew, “Are you on the streets now? You’re done with work?”

“Mn.” Andrew gave a brief answer.

“Is it cold where you are?”

“It’s not cold,” Andrew said. “It’s cold over there?”

“It’s very cold. I was queueing outdoors for half an hour to buy the cake,” Fang Zhaomu grumbled. “I also just went downstairs, and the wind’s even stronger than in the afternoon. However, the cake is very yummy.”

Fang Zhaomu mentioned the name of the bakery, and asked Andrew if he had tried anything from there before.

Andrew seemed to have been enlightened today. He told Fang Zhaomu that he had never eaten anything from there before, and added, “When we meet, I’ll bring you there.”

“Then who’s going to queue?” Fang Zhaomu lowered his head and poked the cake with his fork. He bit his lip, unable to control his smile.

“I’ll queue,” Andrew said. “You’ll wait in the car, I’ll go and queue.”
